Abstract
A simple pure-sliding experiment, on a cylinder and plane apparatus, is used to examine the benefit to be gained from the use of a thin soft layer on the surface of one of a pair of mating solids. In terms of lubrication and friction, the benefit is considerable.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
